Gongfu!
Dug this tea out of storage for an early morning session. This is such an amazing tea with a really understated profile to go alongside such a warm, glowy body feel. It builds slowly, with smooth yet powerful notes of tobacco and pipe smoke, incense, and undertones of red fruits like lingonberry or currants – more jammy, though, and not tart/bright. The liquor feels thick and heavy on the palate despite having more of a delicate-leaning flavour composition. Part of me wants to just leave this tea to age indefinitely, but it’s also something I want to make sure to enjoy – and not just for fancy occasions. I think we all deserve to enjoy these special sort of teas on even the most mundane feeling sort of days.
